00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.400
Calorouga Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Pallas Intriegame your host,

2
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:19.559
Mark Francis Taylor. Swift has revealed an amusing behind the

3
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:22.480
scenes moment from her meeting with Prince William and his

4
00:00:22.640 --> 00:00:26.239
children during her Era's tour stop at Wembley Stadium in

5
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.879
June twenty twenty four. The pop superstar met the Prince

6
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:33.359
of Wales along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Backstage

7
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.960
ahead of the show. She was joined by her boyfriend

8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.520
Travis Kelsey and his brother Jason. The group even posed

9
00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.880
for a selfie, which Taylor later shared on social media

10
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:47.159
with the caption happy Birthday, Mate, London shows are off

11
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:50.159
to a splendid start, tagging Prince William on his birthday.

12
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.520
Now more than a year later, Swift has shared more

13
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:56.119
about that night as a surprise guest on the Kelsey

14
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.240
Brothers New Heights podcast while discussing the London view It

15
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:03.840
tailor record an awkward but funny moment involving Jason and

16
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.040
a beer. Wasn't this the week I got to watch

17
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:10.159
Jason meet the royal family? She said. I watched him

18
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:12.640
have this moment with his beer where he was like

19
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.719
but I want to take it, but I didn't know

20
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:16.959
that I probably should not take it. I watched this

21
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:19.480
happen and it was kind of the most amazing thing.

22
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:22.359
Jason responded, I like that you picked up on it,

23
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.840
because that was exactly what was going through my head.

24
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:28.439
Is it disrespectful to have a beer when you meet royalty?

25
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:31.920
Swift added, yeah? Or is it authentic by having the beer?

26
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.200
I would normally have the beer, wouldn't they want me

27
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.719
to be myself? As it turns out, the Royals nearly

28
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.519
missed the entire moment. According to a source who spoke

29
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.079
to Hello at the time, William and the children were

30
00:01:43.159 --> 00:01:46.519
running late and almost missed their meat and greet entirely.

31
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:49.959
They had a nightmare getting in The sources said they

32
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.480
only had twenty five minutes to spare there was a

33
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:56.319
bit of stress and panic. Fortunately, things came together just

34
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.200
in time for the quick backstage visit. The family made

35
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.760
their way to the box seats and left about ten

36
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:05.640
minutes before the show ended, avoiding the crowd of departing fans.

37
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.639
After the concert, even Travis Kelsey's mother Donna, spoke about

38
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.080
how surreal it all felt when you meet people like that.

39
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.919
The Royals, or Paul McCartney or Hugh Grant. You're just

40
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:19.080
like who in this picture doesn't fit, she said of

41
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:21.719
his son's reaction. Why am I here and why am

42
00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:25.120
I even allowed to talk to these individuals? It just

43
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:29.560
doesn't seem right. You can do all sorts of terrible things,

44
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.560
but the one thing you cannot do is say bad

45
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.319
things about Princess Catherine, who is utterly perfect. Biographer Andrew

46
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:38.840
Lowney claims that Prince Andrew's alleged unkind remarks about the

47
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.039
Princess of Wales may have stemmed from jealousy and that

48
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.840
they have contributed to a deep rift with his nephew,

49
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:49.080
Prince William. Speaking to Okay magazine about his new book

50
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:51.599
entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York,

51
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.719
Lowney said he was surprised to hear such comments, adding

52
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.960
I can't see how anyone could make unkind comments about

53
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:02.319
Kate when she's been the fan's saving grace. It surprised me,

54
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.319
but people do get jealous. I'd have thought Prince Andrew

55
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.879
would respect William's future king, though, according to Lowney, the

56
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.360
remarks marked a turning point in William's relationship with his uncle.

57
00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.960
William has a very strong sense of public duty and

58
00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:17.240
is doing his best to keep the show on the road.

59
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.400
Everyone is pulling together Charles, Ann Edward, William and others,

60
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.439
but the whole side has been let down by Prince Andrew.

61
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.240
The book also alleges that when William becomes king, he

62
00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:30.840
will seek to evict Andrew and Sarah Ferguson from the

63
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:33.639
Royal Lodge of King Charles has not already done so,

64
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.599
One source told Lowney he also loathes Sarah, Andrew's ex wife,

65
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:41.080
and can't wait for the day when his father throws

66
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.919
them both out. If Charles doesn't, I guarantee you the

67
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.840
first thing William does when he eventually becomes king is

68
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.319
to get them evicted. Kate, she had a knew Summer

69
00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:52.840
message in her own voice. In a video posted to

70
00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.719
her official social media accounts. The princess provided a reflective

71
00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:01.520
narration accompanied by images of nature, garden and children at play.

72
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.439
The video was part of her ongoing Mother Nature series.

73
00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:08.120
Catherine tells us summer is the season for abundance. Just

74
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.840
as the flowers bloom and the fruits ripen, we two

75
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:13.560
are reminded of our own potential for growth. It is

76
00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:16.519
the time to ignite our inner fire and explore our

77
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.759
own creativity, passions, and dreams. As we bask in the

78
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.959
sunlit hours, friends and families come together, playing, connecting, being present,

79
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:27.360
embracing the joy to be found in even the most

80
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.399
fleeting moments and shared experiences. Our lives flourish when we

81
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.240
cherish the bonds of love and friendship. So open your hearts, sing, dance, play.

82
00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.480
The days are still long, so simply love and be loved.

83
00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:43.240
In a caption to the post, signed C. Four Catherine,

84
00:04:43.279 --> 00:04:45.839
she wrote, our lives flourish when we cherish the bonds

85
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.279
of love and friendship. It has never been more important

86
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:51.399
to appreciate the value of one another and of mother Nature.

87
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.959
He is the Summer Kate did not appear in the video.

88
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:58.240
The media gave her credit for interrupting her vacation to

89
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.279
do a few minutes of voiceover. Buckingham Palace quietly deleted

90
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.480
a birthday tribute to Princess Anne after it sparked confusion

91
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.480
and a fair bit of embarrassment online. The palace had

92
00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.519
published a list of seventy five facts about the Princess

93
00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:16.160
Royal to Marcus seventy fifth birthday, but Royal watchers quickly

94
00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.399
spotted a glaring error in fact number fourteen. The post

95
00:05:20.480 --> 00:05:22.879
claim that Princess Anne has two step children, Tom and

96
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.079
Amy Lawrence, from his second marriage to Vice Admiral Sir

97
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:29.600
Timothy Lawrence. The problem Sir tim has never been married

98
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.839
before and known children have ever been linked to him.

99
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.439
The incorrect detail led to a flurry of reactions on

100
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:40.199
social media, with one user writing either I've gone crazy

101
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:43.639
or Sir Tim Lawrence's secret children. Others wondered if it

102
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:48.040
was an AI error. Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie had

103
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.959
been defended by friends following renewed tabloid scrutiny linked to

104
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.600
Andrew Lowney's new book entitled The Rise and Fall of

105
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.759
the House of York. A contemporary of the sisters told

106
00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:00.439
The Royalist all they have ever done is stand by

107
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:04.680
their parents in the most horrifically public circumstances. They're sweet

108
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:07.720
girls who understand that they are immensely privileged. They were

109
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.759
told to get jobs by the firm and they did that,

110
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:12.879
so it seems unfair to attack them from making money.

111
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.560
The source added that neither Princess is devastated or heartbroken

112
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.319
by the book, which they view as a rehash of

113
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:24.120
old material. A former royal photographer has claimed Queen Camilla

114
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:26.759
is privately urging King Charles to reign in Prince William.

115
00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.399
Ian Pelham Turner told The Mirror he believes the Queen

116
00:06:29.560 --> 00:06:32.439
is seeing William trying to create issues and she's told

117
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:35.040
Charles to stop it. It's been rumored for a while

118
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:38.199
that William has been trying to push whatever in the monarchy,

119
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.839
and he's a driving force behind the throne, and I

120
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:45.439
think Charles should be Royal Author Christopher Anderson previously told

121
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:48.560
US Weekly the Prince of Wales merely tolerates his stepmother

122
00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.199
and that she has always been a little afraid of him,

123
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.000
even admitting she needs a Gin and tonic after their

124
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.319
first meeting. Sources say the Sussex tensions ultimately helped bring

125
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.920
William and Camilla close up, and credits the always wonderful

126
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.879
Princess of Wales for smoothing the path. Kate has never

127
00:07:04.920 --> 00:07:09.199
been dismissive of Camilla and always treated her with kindness. Well,

128
00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:15.720
Palasin just a moment, By the way. If you're a

129
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:18.560
true crime junkie, check out celebrity trials from your friends

the most sensational trials, including classic ones as well celebrity

trials wherever you get your podcasts. In The Royalist, Tom

133
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.120
Sykes discussed the Netflix deal, writing, Harry and Megan won't

134
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.240
get paid big bucks unless they make stuff that attract eyeballs,

135
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:38.759
that seems fair and might even make them less of

136
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.399
a target. I'm not sure that anyone expects one announced project,

137
00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.879
a short Ugandan documentary about HIV in Africa Masaka Kids

138
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.160
a Rhythm Within, to generate a casino payday. But I

139
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.800
do think, maybe naively, that the world is a better

140
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:56.480
place with films like that in it. If Harry can

141
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.040
bring some focus to the desperate needs of kids affected

142
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:02.879
by HIV in Africa after the implosion of his center

143
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.759
Bali Charity, then hats off to him. Well. Archwall's adaptation

144
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.920
of Carly Fortune's romance novel Meet Me at the Lake

145
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.560
Ever See the Light of Day? Who can guess? As

146
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.680
the old Hollywood adage has it, no one knows anything.

147
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.319
The trailer for the upcoming season of the Cooking Show was,

148
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:23.480
of course mocked in it Meganizine wearing white and green

149
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:28.279
belted floral print Carolina Herrera mini dress, valued at twenty

150
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:32.200
three hundred pounds by the Express. Social media users described

151
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.440
it as beautiful but not for cooking and in a

152
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:39.799
if Meghan did this story. High Grove House, King Charles's

153
00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:43.240
Country Estate has added a new luxury item to its

154
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:47.360
online shop, a limited addition teddy bear, priced at two

155
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:51.639
hundred and sixty nine pounds. Handcrafted in England by Merry Thought.

156
00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:54.679
The bear is made from the finest silver colored mohair

157
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:59.360
plush with soft cotton velvet detailing. It's left pores embroidered

158
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:02.960
in gold the King's Royal cipher, and it comes dressed

159
